This story is a heartbreaker for this is one of the most
positive and giving men I know. He continues to try to prove his innocence and
a big obstacle has been that his lawyer lost the only free copies available of
his court records and the court is unresponsive to his request that they help
him get new copies. . Slowly family is helping him pay the $1.25 fee per page
to get these records recopied. When I contacted Wisconsin Innocence Project
(WIP) to see if they could help advocate, I was told they are under the same
rules. The records are old and not on data base. He believes once he has these
he can go through the procedures used to convict him, a youth who knew nothing,
and the faulty lineup and the abusive interrogation and all the rest point to
the proverbial “railroad” justice.http://oughttobefree.blogspot.com/2008/04/bryant-johnson.html

This blog is a companion to our Parole web page. Wisconsin has 2887 prisoners who are eligible for parole but are denied year after year. We are part of a campaign to see that these people get a second chance. They are all long past their parole dates. We want to spread the message loud and clear that people DO Change. Below are some of the stories and profiles of the many people stuck in a broken and wasteful system.
